      In the US, there's a few configurations between two different tanks/chassis.

      318's didn't have a passenger access hole, and have only one hole in the tank. Single high pressure pump with sender attached to carrier, return line sends to the fuel pump carrier.

      Early tanks have an internal pump/sender on the passenger side sending low pressure fuel to an external pump under the car. Driver side is sender only. Return is into pump carrier.

      Late large capacity tanks have internal high pressure pump on the passenger side and a sender only on the passenger side. Return is to the bottom of the tank, driver side, with a suction tube to transfer fuel to the other side of the saddle.

        Nothing new to add right now. Was traveling for work. Buddy of mine made me a solid copper shift knob. Time to get cracking with the copper accents. My favorite.

            I’ve got V1 in my car now, but I used the wrong suede. I used some with backing, so it bunched around the inside. I started V2 with the correct suede, but it’s not done yet.

                So, since I needed to replace the radiator anyway, I figure it’s time to upgrade to the full width. That being said, I probably should’ve measured a full width before I made the core support. So, I trimmed and fit, trimmed and fit. I got it in place, but I realized I have no idea how the full width radiator mounts so I started making my own. I made a pair of floating mounts then poured silicone around them to create custom fit isolators. Next on the problem list is the late model hard coolant “tube” that crosses behind the fan. The early timing cover doesn’t have the bosses to mount it. I pulled the cap, rotor and backing plate so I could see down in there, then drilled and tapped it to add a spacer/bolt. I also sanded/powder coated the tube and brackets. No “sexy” pics today.



                Oh, I threaded the shifter stalk and added the copper shift knob.

                  Got the full width radiator in. Added a couple new lower mounts that didn’t exist. Threw in some copper hard lines. Eventually there’ll be more copper accents in the bay.



                  New radiator hoses and expansion tank are on my short list.

                    Adam reached out to me about bringing the car to the E30 Picnic on June 24. With all the E30 DNA in the project, the answer is of course, yes! So anyone going to the E30 Picnic will be able to see Adam's awesome project in person on the lawn.

                        I know it’s dumb, but I couldn’t resist freshening up something real quick. I like clean parts, plus the tabs were broken on the old one.

                              Gotcha. I’m pretty sure I can handle making a boot. This was just a spur of the moment thing.

                                These wound up being disasters. I know how to make the second batch better though. I made them out of aluminum thinking I’d be able to load the powdercoat in the recesses and have an enameled look. Didn’t work at all. New ones will be plastic w/powder coated inserts.
